EXPLORING GOD IS BETTER IN COMMUNITY
WHY ARE GROUPS SO IMPORTANT?
It's how God created us to know him and walk with Him. We believe that Groups are the heart-beat of the church; a time when we open our Bibles in search of the truths that connect to our lives today. They are the best place to connect with others who are seeking answers to questions of faith and build friendships formed in deeper spiritual community.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A GROUP?
Groups consist of 10-20 people gathered to get to know one another and have discussions on spiritual matters relevant to our lives. They are places to be real with our struggles, questions, and dreams for the future. It is also a place to learn about and live out the mission God has called us to on this campus and in this community: serving and loving others and making disciples of Jesus.
We offer Groups for people in every season of life, from traditional students living on or off campus to students already meeting within specific communities (such as specific academic majors, athletes, areas of specific interest, etc). We offer City Groups for our graduate students and recent graduates transitioning to life as young professionals, as well as established city/community members and families. Our Groups meet throughout the week all around campus and are great opportunities to share life and grow in our faith together.
